BF2S Forums Why is Bf2142 so bland?

I like the game, but I agree with what you are saying. Its because form a creativity standpoint, it nothing more than a hack, popular elements from other games.

the colors are bland, but you need to take in the situation. massive ice age at hand. as well as most of the remaining hospitable regions being desert, not much choice there.

i disagree about the maps, i personally think they are designed well. vanilla bf2 had jets that were impossible to take down from the ground, but in armored fury it was ok, because they weren't as fast. bf2142 has the same type of situation as armored fury, more balanced jets. the thing that pissed me off the most about bf2 was getting on a server only to get raped by jet whores the entire round. this isn't an issue in bf2142.

there could be more vehicles.

I would have to agree with you, even though the maps are balanced they lack that really nice detail that karkand or clean sweep had.

MOTORS= they could do with a few more motors in 2142, in jalalabad the jeeps spawned about every 30 secs, and the tanks about every 90 secs, in 2142 it seems to take an age for tanks and the like to spawn, so again i agree on the amount of motors is not enough

Now why would they have done that..

If you guys call those transport sheeps you havn't seen what they are capable of, Sure its hitdetection is a bit bad but its sure kill as many as the blackhawk did. The only problem is that you can't really repair it in the air and then you are easy targets for engineer kit but they might have pilum so.

Makes me wanna watch Demolition Man again

Have just read the article in PC Zone (British publication) about Quake Wars Enemy Territory where the reporter got hands on experience of the game and then had to get down to the nitty gritty subject of firing questions at the developers, one of these being what do you think of BF2142. Now the developer returned that 2 years ago Id and splash  announced that they were bringing out this game with concept screenshot ie. battle walkers, flying chopper jet thing-es set in a futuristic battleground and low and behold E.A. announced 6 month after that they would be releasing 2142, which make you think was it really a labor of love, what i mean by this was it really a labor of love like BF2 but merely a quick jump on the ban wagon to get more coin from ourselves after hearing that Splash would be trying to go for a futuristic shooter.
Saying that i do like 2142 but it did not have the same anticipation i was expecting when BF2 came out, of playing an out of this fucking world shooter and to be truthful BF2 did not disappoint but when 2142 came out it was more like another part of the BF series', which i cant say i did for BF2 as i was on the web looking for new screenshots, videos, ect. up to 2 year before it was released. This feeling of anticipation has returned in wait for QW:ET as even the reporter states at the end of his article that this most likely will be one of the most polished shooters out there, E.A. all dollar bill yeah and forgot the fucking love. and i really do think the day of 2142 are numbered once Feb come and Id release their game i think the server for 2142 are going to be pretty empty patrone.

seats 5/7 can repair the air transports while your in the air

and if you have a full transport with a well coordinated crew of engineers and one support guy you are pretty much unstopable..... motion mines for vehicles saaw's for gunships and somebody in f2 on the gun for infantry your pretty much unstopable

and im glad theres no jets as i couldnt fly them worth shit

Naw there still shit as ever against infantry, very rare i kill them with the rockets.

Firstly, the music, wth its the 1942 music, although i didnt play 1942, i bet many of us had played it before, why cant they have a nicer music like the one in Bf2. Their loading music included. The one in BF2 sounded abit like the rock genre( correct me if i am wrong)

Secondly, the maps are poorly designed. The color scheme tastes so bland. In bf2 whenever i play Karkand, i feel that the color scheme is perfect and i feel like i am in a real battlefield holding my l33t rifle and gunning down whoever is against me. Yes you guys may agree that spawn camping with tanks and spawn raping with jets is bad, but whatever it is, i bet most of you guys enjoyed BF2 more than 2142.

Thirdly, The number of vehicles in bf2142 is wayyyy too less. Lets compare the flying vehicles in Bf2142. The Doragon and the sheep(whatever they call it, its the transport chopper). Why cant EA/Dice just put in another l33t bomber inside instead of just one attack heli. Even better, supersonic planes that can choose to drop EMP or l33t bombs on infantry. You guys know what types of vehicles are there in BF2 so i dont need to elaborate.

So does anyone agree with me?

i like the music. it's soooo much better than BF2 music, that music gave me a headache (especially with the annoying radio sounds in the background). EDIT: the music in 2142 is NOT the same as 1942.... 1942 had only one song i believe, and i think just about every map in 2142 has a song. or there are at least 4 songs.

the maps are genius in 2142, can't say the same for 2/3 of BF2's maps.

i agree with the vehicles part. they don't have enough. but if they put planes in i will most likely stop playing. that's part of the reason i don't like BF2 anymore.

what do you mean EXPLAIN???, you may have a point that i am missing

Im disappointed with the music also, its too sombre. It needs to energize you more. I could fall asleep llistening to that music

Also agree that the maps are a bit bland, but I suppose its to go with the theme of the game (ice age etc)

Im happy with the amount vechile options, but i do agree about somones comments that they dont spawn quick enough, especially the battle walker. Half the map goes by and it still hasnt spawned. Jets ruinied BF2 so im glad they arent in this game. If you are in a jet, they are the best thing since sliced bread. if you are not in a jet, you curse them all game. You have idiots who Tk and hop around the spawn point like rabbits hoping to get in when it spawns, only to have some retard teammate snipe you to death becasue he cant handle the fact he didnt get it
